I've had evri multiple times deliver to someone else's house absolutely nowhere near the address they were given and have had to go looking for it

First time couldn't even find the door and the people never attempted to give it to us

Fortunately the company sent a new one but still

I use Microsoft edge

Passions don't necessary line up with something that's beneficial to society is my point.

Absolutely the distribution of wealth at the moment is far from fair and I wish we could fix that, but I still think short of everything being automated even in a utopia where we do everything perfectly as a society people still have to do jobs they don't want to because there are jobs noone wants to do that need doing

I highly doubt anyone has a passion for working in the service industry, cleaning up the messes kids make at school or collecting people's rubbish but they're jobs that need doing and people do them because they're compensated for them

Microsoft from what I can see seem to love Linux, with the advent of dotnet core, azure Linux, official Microsoft guide for installing Linux on your machine, wsl etc etc

It is slightly concerning but you have a good point of everything they contribute is vetted and I'm glad to have more time and money invested into its development

At least in the UK I was under the impression it's pretty illegal to try to claim anything employees do out of work time as company property

And overwatch

I'm sure I'd give something back but I'm also sure most of it wouldn't be of much use to anyone else, I'd be working on stuff like mods, niche tools for myself that probably 3 people on earth would find useful, and stupid ideas for fun like some streamers get to

It's all well and good until windows overwrites the bootloader

In the case of someone who can't work for one reason or another there's obviously an exception because that's not something they can help

Children do contribute to society by getting an education and having a childhood to develop into well adjusted adults who contribute later on,

Unemployment benefits presumably are for people actively searching for a job

The elderly have already contributed more than their fair share raising their children

Using the phrasing people who don't work implies including people who are able but just don't want to

In no capitalist society that I know of will you be executed for not working - you have a right to life

What you don't have the right to is someone else to provide for you if you don't give anything back

That said I'm fairly sure with the amount of automation we have everyone should need to put in a whole lot less work than they do to keep society afloat

In any good society everyone who is able should be expected to contribute something though. Even in the wild you have the right to be alive but you don't have the right to free food, shelter etc without working for it

Similarly under capitalism you're not going to be executed for not working but also unless there's a good reason you can't contribute nobody's going to work to feed you for nothing in return

But then you know both parts of the password and so must be killed to keep the machine secure
